How do I fit my new belt on a Meile W864 washing machine

How old is the washing machine? You have likely water inlet valve solenoids that are inoperative.

If you are sure that you made no mistake in mounting the brush cap back on the motor (check the four pins), most probably the electronic EL200 is defective.
This happens often in this type of machine when the shock absorbers are worn (after 10 years).
You can check this by measuring the continuity in the little 6.3A fuse that is on the EL200. If it is blown, you may get the PCB repaired for 55 Euros + shipping (see link below). You also have to replace the shock absorbers (32 Euros) to get a full year guarantee.

unfortunatly the back does not come off this machine, only the small inspection panel at the rear.

belt can be really hard to fit, hotpoint actually supplys its engineers with a specialist tool to fit the belt.

i fit it by removing the lid and inspection panel, fit belt around motor first then from the top feed onto the drum pulley. a tip is you can cable tie the belt to the main puley(use a few) then slowley rotate and belt should slip on, sort of like putting a chain on your bike.

may take a few trys, good luck with it and let me no how you get on.

Providing the motor is okay then yes could be the belt...if so you will find that the drum turns by hand no problem with ease........In which case order new belt....

Hello,unplug appliance, remove lid and back plate, place belt on motor and carefully on drum pulley, turn pulley to pull belt onto its, its quite tight to do but is possible, watch out for trapping your fingers.

Thanks

hello at the back of the washer you should see panel with 4 or 5 screws.once this is off you should see the belt attach the motor at the bottom get a felt tip pen mark the nuts where the motor is bolted to loose them off the belt should drop off put new belt and tighten the nuts back up do quick test on the washer if ok your done

See if the motor has adjustment , ie a slotted fixing hole, slacken the fixing bolts slightly and motor may move up and down to give adjustment, put the belt on and then put some tension on the belt once fitted by moving the motor down and tightening the motor bolts at the same time.
Or if no adjustment put the belt on the motor spindle first and then the drum by turning the drum as the belt is eased onto it.

I have a W844 and the exact same fault occured. I traced it to badly worn brushes on the motor.
